About the Author

Horse enthusiast Dave Wyatt helps clients select and train horses. In the suburbs of Chicago, a family in the market for a horse often has little to no knowledge of the process--let's be honest, Chicagoland isn't exactly known for its horse population. Dave knows the value of a great horse, and loves helping families maximize their equine investment. Dave moved to Chicago in 2011 after living most of his life in scenic Wyoming. After growing up around open spaces and horses, it was quite a culture shock. He missed his childhood horse, and began campaigning and researching to convince his family that Chicago was a great place to house one. Thankfully, they were able to keep their new horse, Sandals at a nearby stable rather than in their tiny garage. As the only horse owner in his class, he was very popular. At least weekly, he found himself instructing his classmates in how to approach, care for, and ride a horse. No one was surprised when he chose to continue in this on a part time basis and as an author. These days Dave lives in Barrington, Illinois with his wife and three kids. When they're not out riding, they enjoy camping, great movies and long hikes.
